ALUCOAT avance sur son chemin vers la transition verte avec l’énergie solaire

ALUCOAT réaffirme son engagement en faveur de la durabilité en installant 1 726 panneaux solaires dans son usine de Linares (Jaén), avançant résolument vers une industrie de plus en plus verte.

L’installation a une puissance de 949,30 kW et permettra que 21,4 % de la consommation énergétique de l’usine provienne de sources d’énergie renouvelables.

Ce projet aura un impact environnemental significatif, équivalant à éviter l’émission de 350 tonnes de CO2 par an et à la plantation de 700 arbres. L’initiative fait partie de la stratégie globale de l’entreprise visant à réduire de manière significative son empreinte carbone et à contribuer à l’atténuation du changement climatique.

ALUCOAT démontre avec cet investissement son engagement envers l’environnement, les personnes et l’avenir, en favorisant un modèle industriel plus propre et plus efficace. L’intégration des énergies renouvelables ne réduit pas seulement les émissions, mais renforce la responsabilité sociale et environnementale de l’entreprise, générant un impact positif pour les générations présentes et futures.

Avec cette initiative, ALUCOAT met en avant l’adoption de pratiques durables dans le secteur industriel, montrant que l’industrie et la durabilité vont de pair dans la construction d’un avenir plus vert et responsable pour tous.

ALUCOAT donates again aluminium coils to the Brotherhood of Nuestra Señora de Linarejos

The traditional festivities in honour of the Virgen de Linarejos Coronada, the Patron Saint of Linares, Jaén, took place from the 18th to the 26th of May.

The Brotherhood of Nuestra Señora de Linarejos, as every year, organised its traditional “Tombola de Muñecas” to raise funds for the maintenance of the Sanctuary, which helps vulnerable people in the city.

Thanks to the President of the Brotherhood, Patricio Lupiañez Cruz, ALUCOAT, made a generous donation of aluminium rolls, for the second consecutive year, to collaborate with this noble cause.

With this action, ALUCOAT highlights the importance of collaboration between the business sector and charities to unite in the fight against inequality and poverty and create a positive social impact in the community.

ALUCOAT RECEIVES STUDENTS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF JAEN

Last Friday, May 10, ALUCOAT received a total of 17 final-year students from the Telematics Engineering degree program at the University of Jaen. Accompanied by José Ángel Fernández Prieto, a professor from the Department of Telecommunications Engineering, they had the opportunity to get a close look at an Industry 4.0 environment through ALUCOAT Conversion’s innovative and highly digitalized processes.

These kinds of events are part of the Sustainable Development Plan with which ALUCOAT supports Quality Education, as it allow students to interact with professionals and gain a practical insight into the application of their knowledge in a real industrial setting.

This visit underscores the importance of collaboration between industry and academia, and ALUCOAT is proud to contribute to the development of the talents who will lead the future of telematics and technology.

ALUCOAT committed to Training, Youth, and Digitalization.

ALUCOAT certifies in Aluminium Stewardship Initiative ASI, its commitment to sustainability in the aluminium value chain.

ALUCOAT is very pleased to obtain the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Certification for Performance Standard (V3 2022) as a commitment to improve sustainability throughout the aluminium value chain, all our stakeholders, and with SDG 17 Partnerships for the goals.

ASI is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain, setting 59 criteria under the three pillars of sustainability: Environment, Social and Governance.

ALUCOAT is in the process of implementing improvements focused on the sustainability priorities proposed by ASI in their strategy (2030-2050) such as:

• Climate change, where aluminium accounts for around 2% of CO₂ eq global emissions. It is required an aluminium sector aligned with 1.5°C and therefore a low carbon aluminium. ALUCOAT, as part of its commitment to SDG 13 Climate Action, calculates the Carbon Footprint (Scope 1 and 2) and increases the percentage of recycled aluminium in its products. It also has solar panels installed and ISO 50001 certification, contributing to the reduction of Greenhouse Gas emissions.

• Circularity, where aluminium is 100% recyclable and experiences no loss of properties or quality during the recycling process. To achieve this, ALUCOAT focuses on aluminium utilization measures, reducing raw material consumption. ALUCOAT also implements sustainable water management and carries out segregation and separation by aluminIum alloys. All of these efforts are highlighted by the recent attainment of the Zero Waste Certificate. These actions align with SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation, SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy, and SDG 12 Responsible Production and Consumption.
• Positive nature, improving the resilience of our planet and our societies in aspects of ecosystems, habitats, species and biodiversity. Where measures such as sustainable water management and the commitment to increasing the use of recycled aluminium, as opposed to extracting primary aluminium, are related to SDG 14 Life Below Water and SDG 15 Life on Land.
• Human rights, as a broad and cross-cutting issue throughout the supply chain. ALUCOAT promotes respect for human rights in new industrial projects and significant organizational changes, community development, workers’ rights, and occupational health and safety management with its ISO 45001 certification. This aligns with SDG 5 Gender Equality, SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities.
